Panasonic Connect North America has introduced Syncora Digital Manufacturing Platform (SyncoraDMP), a modular and scalable manufacturing execution system (MES) designed to boost EV battery production in the U.S. SyncoraDMP enhances manufacturers’ ability to meet the growing demand for EV batteries by offering comprehensive traceability, quality management, process monitoring, and advanced analytics to optimize production, ensuring faster and more efficient product delivery.
As EV battery demand rises, manufacturers face pressure to maintain high efficiency, ensure product quality, and comply with evolving regulations. Disruptions in large-scale production can lead to significant financial losses, and manufacturers need reliable partners equipped with advanced technology and industry expertise for seamless process execution, from material receiving to final packaging.
“Panasonic Connect, as both a battery manufacturer and MES software developer, is uniquely positioned to bring end-to-end process execution to the evolving manufacturing landscape,” said Eric Symon, Head of Sales, Smart Manufacturing at Panasonic Connect North America. “Our SyncoraDMP solution incorporates industry best practices to help manufacturers avoid common challenges and achieve optimal performance. SyncoraDMP integrates machines, people, and processes to drive digital transformation and capitalize on this generational production opportunity.”
Key features of SyncoraDMP include:
- End-to-End Process Orchestration: SyncoraDMP allows manufacturers to track, trace, and control production processes, integrating with enterprise systems like ERP and PLM while connecting to SCADA and machine-level data for better quality control and efficiency.
- Automated Workflows: By leveraging advanced automation, SyncoraDMP detects defects throughout production, improving product quality and reliability. Real-time visibility and predictive intelligence allow manufacturers to maximize machine and material usage while freeing up workers for value-added tasks.
- Flexible Deployment: SyncoraDMP offers deployment flexibility, supporting on-premise, cloud, or hybrid configurations. It also provides code-free and low-code implementation to enable faster scaling and return on investment.
- Real-Time Visibility: Digital twin technology enhances overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by offering real-time dashboards that track costs, downtime, and machine health, helping manufacturers proactively manage equipment and reduce material waste.
- Specialized Manufacturing Modeling: SyncoraDMP addresses the complexities of EV battery production, such as mixing, electrode coating, and cell formation, ensuring stringent quality standards are met at every step.
Panasonic, with over 100 years of enterprise solutions experience and three decades of expertise in developing technology for waste reduction and productivity enhancement, continues to support manufacturers in scaling EV battery production.
